If you’ve been hurt on the job, the outcome of your workers’ compensation action will make a big difference for you and your family. At a time like this, you want a lawyer on your side who is well versed in the different types of work injuries and how best to handle each type of claim in the workers’ compensation system. At the Law Offices of Valdez & Valdez, A Professional Corporation in Fresno and Grover Beach, we have been helping Californians like you for more than 50 years and will maximize the likelihood of a favorable result.
Most common types of work injuries
Our firm represents Central Valley and Central Coast clients suffering from all types of work-related health problems, including:
- Broken bones — In an instant, a fall, vehicle accident or equipment failure could leave you with one or more broken bones that could take months to heal, as well as cuts and damage to the skin.
- Traumatic brain injuries — A blow to the head is capable of causing numerous symptoms, including pain, dizziness and loss of balance. Even if you are unsure if you have suffered a traumatic brain injury, you should get a medical evaluation as soon as possible.
- Muscle and ligament damage — A torn muscle or ligament typically requires a long period of inactivity that might prevent you from doing your job.
- Repetitive stress injuries — Employees who spend a lot of time on a keyboard and assembly workers who repeat the same physical motion for hours on end are at risk of repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Catastrophic injuries — Some victims never fully recover from a job-related accident. Claimants suffering from paralysis and other types of catastrophic harm might be relying on disability payments for the rest of their lives.

Top causes of workplace injuries
There are countless ways in which someone can get hurt while at work, such as:
- Vehicle crashes
- Falls
- Overexertion
- Exposure to harmful substances
- Fires and electrocutions
- Being struck by something that fell or was dropped
- Being caught between two large objects
Securing appropriate workers’ compensation payments gives you the ability to focus on your physical and mental well-being without having to worry about the high cost of medical bills or the absence of income during your recovery period.
Workers’ compensation and third-party liability claims
Any injury suffered during the course of performing one’s job should fall under your employer’s worker’s compensation coverage, which pays for your healthcare expenses and replaces two-thirds of your lost wages up to a limit set annually by the state. You might also be able to recover the rest of the income you’ve lost in a personal injury lawsuit, along with compensation for pain and suffering and other non-economic damages if a third party was liable for your workplace accident. By conducting a thorough investigation of each claim, our firm ensures that clients are aware of each type of relief that is available.
OSHA and workplace safety regulations
Employees have the right to do their work in a safe environment. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issues regulations on employers’ responsibilities in various types of job settings. Though workers’ compensation claimants do not have to prove fault on the part of their employer, violations of OSHA rules could lead to a civil action for damages against a California business.
